Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 9646 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9646 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

9646 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 9646 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 16280.613881584 ft/s

The final result is:

9646 kt → 16280.613881584 ft/s

We conclude that 9646 knots is equivalent to 16280.613881584 feet per second:
